Anything that is broad or thick set when it does not have to be qualifies as stubby or stubbed.
Also stubbing a cigarette automatically makes it shorter by default, makes cigarette safe but ugly too, yet another good analogy to the Baydo project. No one will ever call these buildings sexy (& slender).
I just think that sheer glass, while having a place, doesn't really make a whole lot of sense for every building in this climate. Maybe it makes me unpopular but my view is that energy efficiency is a desirable aspect when considering architecture, and that aesthetic concerns, while important, do not necessarily carry the day every time. It should also go without saying that buildings need windows. I also don't think that every building needs to be AON Tower skinny in order to be meritous.
